amazing Date: August 22, 2009
Pros: doesnt smell bad, great color
Cons: crayon red when first put on

"I absolutely love this product, it doesnt smell bad when using it and it makes a great color! It scared me at first cause i was putting a crayon red product on my hair and wasnt really wanting that color. After rinsing it out it was darker and even after a few hours it got darker and now its to a color i love! Being a non-natural black haired person, i had to bleach my hair first but it still turned out amazing!!"

BEST ONE STEP VIBRANT COLOR NO PRELIGHTENER NEEDED Date: April 18, 2009
Pros: bright vibrant true color, creamy not drying out, easy to apply easy to touch up, works best on virgin dark hair
Cons: lots of red in the shower so beware, red washes out so maintain maintain maintain

"I have used this product for almost a YEAR and I have to admit that I will NEVER EVER use another brand to dye my hair red. I used the Magenta HiLights as an ALL OVER color and my hair is down to my hips (AND VERY VERY DARK BROWN, I'm middle Eastern with curly hair)! It took about 4 boxes each time, but the developer is only $5 for an entire 16oz and I am able to do my hair professionally better than my aunt would do (She has a 2 reputable salons in North Carolina and New York). This product is extremely CREAMY and does not dry your hair out as much as you think it would. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT AND I AM A LOYAL AND DEVOTED FAN NOW."

More For Your Money Date: April 16, 2009
Pros: beautiful color, easy to use, not damaging to hair, good for dark hair, well priced

"I have looked everywhere for a red hair dye that is inexpensive, beautiful, and easy to use. I found it! Every time I would get a red hair dye, it would fade in a week, and/or not even be the color I was looking for. This product is specially formulated for dark hair. It is always the shade the box says it is, and will let your natural highlights show through. I had never used a hair dye that I had to mix myself, but the instructions were basic and easy to follow. I highly recomend this product to anyone looking for more for their money!"

WOW! Date: March 20, 2009
Pros: great color, easy to use, smooth coloring from root to tip
Cons: none yet!

"This worked great! I'm only one day 1 so I don't know how long this will keep, but I felt the need to write about it. It looks so wonderful on my hair. Mostly I used it to touch up the existing red I already had & to cover up about an inch of dark brown roots and I was surprised how evenly it covered everything. The color is beautiful & vibrant! I hope this lasts for a month or two!"

"Why spend $80 just to get your hair colored! I tried this color and absolutely loved it. Red is a hard color to get and keep but this color lasts. I've been using it for months now and will not change."

Awesome, awesome Date: January 18, 2009
Pros: lasts, easily seen in dark hair
Cons: has to be left in for 50 min. to an hour

"I absolutely love this product. I have naturally dark brown hair and none of the stuff I got at retails store showed up in my hair. I used the magenta and it showed up with no problems. Plus this color did not fade hardly at all. Even after 3 months it looked pretty much the same."

Right on Red Date: September 1, 2008
Pros: i find the darker the hair use 40 volume
Cons: it will run off some on grey hair and fade faster

"This is the best product for dark hair I have ever used. I have been in this business for 40 years and have never found a red that I didn't have to pre-bleach in order for the true color to show. My hair is very dark brown with grey streaks. The dark hair comes up wonderful Magenta and the grey becomes like highlights which really sets it off. I get alot of compliments from young and old. I love this product and have been using it for about 3 years. My hair is in great condition and I will continue to use it."

Fantastic! Date: July 1, 2008
Pros: will lift dyed hair without bleach
Cons: roots develop faster

"I work for L'Oreal, and I love all their products, especially this one! The results are so even, but ladies, be careful around the roots because they are hot, therefore develop faster. Mix with a lower volume for the roots, apply to the first 1/2 inch of hair, then use a high volume on the rest."

great product for dark hair Date: May 13, 2008
"I have used this product on a couple of my clients that have dark brown to almost black hair/if you are a pro you know that not all reds show up on black. These colors for dark hair are wonderful the one downfall is that it says to use 30 vol devolper i have found that 40 vol lifts alot better on darker hair with very minimal damage."

THIS IS A REALLY GREAT PRODUCT! Date: April 19, 2008
"I USED THE RED HIGHLIGHTS FOR DARK HAIR AND IT WAS GREAT. MY HAIR CAME OUT JUST LIKE I WANTED. I PUT RELAXERS IN MY HAIR AND THIS PRODUCT DIDN'T DO MUCH DAMAGE TO MY HAIR COMPARE TO WHAT THE BLEACHING PRODUCTS WOULD HAVE DONE. IF YOU GET RELAXERS I WOULD AT LEAST WAIT ABOUT 5 WEEKS TO PUT THIS PRODUCT IN YOUR HAIR."
